LESSON GUIDE
The skeletal system is made up of all the bones in the body. It is also called the
framework of the body. Its function is to protect the different internal organs
and help our body move together with the muscles.
Skull- protects the brain
Eye socket- protects the eyes
Backbones/ spine/ spinal column- protect the
spinal cord
Rib cage- protects the heart and lungs
Pelvic bones/pelvis- protect the internal
organs and support our body when we sit. It
is the largest bone in the body.
Joint- it is the place where two bones meet; it
allows movement; movement originate from
here

Muscles- it forms the fleshy parts of our body. They enable


movement, give shape and form to our body and protect
delicate organs. Muscles are voluntary and involuntary.
Voluntary muscles- they are muscles that you can control
Involuntary muscles- they are muscles that you cannot
control
Injury- it is any harm or damage; an act or event that causes
someone or something to no longer be fully healthy or in

LESSON GUIDE
Digestion- the process by which food is broken down into nutrients; it takes
place as soon as we start to chew our food; Digestion starts in the mouth and
ends in the small intestine where absorption takes place. Undigested food is
stored in the large intestine and is removed from the body during defecation.
Digestion is both mechanical and chemical.
Mechanical digestion- the breaking of food into smaller pieces

Kathleenlumidao2017

Chemical digestion- the mixing of food particles with different enzymes and
digestive juices

Saliva- a substance produced by the salivary


glands that mixes with food to soften the food
and kills bacteria and break down starches
into sugar. So, digestion starts in the mouth.
Small intestine-a long coiled tube about 2.5
cm wide and 7 m long

Common Ailments Related to Digestion


Ulcer/hyperacidity- caused by not eating on
time, too much intake of acidic drinks and
food
Diarrhea- frequent moving of the bowel and
watery stool
Constipation-difficulty in eliminating dray and
hard stool or feces
Appendicitis- inflammation of the appendix cause by irritation from undigested
food that may block it
Indigestion-caused by too much or rapid eating or drinking
Gastroenteritis- caused by bacterial infection from taking contaminated food
and water

aids in the formation of blood cells.
The kidney is a bean-shaped paired organ which are about four to five inches
long and two to three inches wide. The right kidney is lower because of the
presence of the liver. It removes urea from the blood through tiny filters called
nephrons. It filters salts, water and nitrogenous waste.

involuntary muscle. Its function is
to pump blood to the different parts of the body. The blood carries the oxygen
needed by the different parts of the body. If the heart will stop pumping, the
person will die.

Kathleenlumidao2017
17

The lungs is located near the heart


and is protected by the rib cage. It filters the oxygen that enters the body to
ensure that that the heart receives clean oxygen. Carbon dioxide is a waste
material that is removed by the body through the lungs.

Common Lung Ailments


Asthma- at condition where a person experiences difficulty in breathing
Rhinitis- it is characterized by sneezing, nasal discharge and itchiness in the
nasal passage
Bronchitis- It is characterized by persistent coughing and sometimes fever
Pneumonia- it is an inflammation of the lungs. A person with pneumonia has a
cough that produces yellow-green phlegm
Cold- it is marked by sneezing, runny nose, coughing, sore throat and
sometimes fever and headache
Tuberculosis- it is an acute or chronic infectious disease of the lungs. It is
highly communicable
Lung cancer- it develops in response to prolonged exposure to irritants like
tobacco smoke

Mimicry- it an adaptation in which one animal closely resembles another
animal in appearance or behavior
(Animal Diversity/Glencoe Science/National Geographic Society/p. 10)
Animals imitate the shapes, smell, tastes, color or even the sounds of other
animals. Examples are zebra, killer whale, and tiger.
Some animals secrete chemicals to protect themselves like squid, wasp, snakes
and jellyfish. Octopus release a cloud of ink to escape.
Animals have adaptive behavior that protect their own kind. They move in
groups/families/herds/pride/pack. Monkey, elephant, penguins, hyena, and
wolves are examples of this.
Some move fast to protect themselves. Cheetah and ostrich are examples.
While some animals have protective coverings such as turtles, crabs, snails
and oyster. When they sense danger, they keep their bodies inside their shells.

LESSON GUIDE
Terrestrial plants- they are plants that grow on land.
Plants have different parts: stem, roots, leaves, flower
Plants’ leaves are used to trap energy coming from the sun in order for the
plant to make food. Waxy leaves protect the plants from dehydration as a result
of too much exposure to sunlight. Others store water especially in desert areas
like the cactus.
The roots main function is to absorb water and minerals from the soil. It also
anchors the plant to the soil and thus prevent soil erosion.
The flower attracts man, animals and most especially, insects. These insects
are necessary for pollination that help in plant propagation.
The stem holds the leaves and flowers and serves as a passage of food.

B. Describe certain types of harmful interactions among living things

FOCUSED SKILLS:
Describe harmful interactions

LESSON GUIDE
Predation- the type of interaction where one benefits while the other one is
harmed or badly affected

Predator-Prey Interaction
a. Predator- the organism that benefits from the relationship
b. Prey- the organism that is harmed
Ex: Lion (predator) vs gazelle (prey); Cat (predator) vs mouse (prey)

The size of predator and prey population are related to each other. If the
number of prey is large, the number of predators increases. The number of
predators decreases, since they have a smaller food supply.

Parasitism- the relationship where one organism is called the parasites and
the other is called the host.
a. Internal parasites- they are found inside the body of the host
Ex: ascaris, ringworm, tapeworm
b. External parasite- they are found outside the body of the host
Ex: aphids, tick

Kathleenlumidao2017
